Atollic has made it easier for designers of embedded systems to choose the best ARM microcontroller for their project.
The latest version of the Swedish firm’s TrueSTUDIO development tool for ARM supports microcontrollers from a number of semiconductor manufacturers, making it possible to switch MCU supplier during the design process.
This release of TrueSTUDIO will support many ARM CPU cores, including: ARM7, ARM9, Cortex-M0, Cortex-M1, Cortex-M3 and Cortex-M4 processors.
It includes device-specific support for an extensive list of ARM processor-based microcontroller families, including: Atmel AT91SAM, EnergyMicro EFM32, Freescale Kinetis, Fujitsu FM3, STMicroelectronics STM32, Texas Instruments Stellaris and Toshiba TX.
“We have worked closely with ARM to ensure that we bring trusted development and debugging tools with wide ranging microcontroller target support to the large universe of ARM processor-based embedded systems engineers,” said Magnus Unemyr, v-p of sales and marketing at Atollic.
As well as an optimizing C/C++ compiler and a multiprocessor-aware debugger, the tool also has serial wire viewer tracing and graphical UML diagram editors for model-based design and architecture.
Also available to ARM developers are Atollic’s professional code-quality analysis and test-automation toolbox.
There is an ECLIPSE-based IDE with editor, x86 C/C++ build and debug tools for development of PC command-line applications and parallel compilation.
Included within the software bundle, and seamlessly integrated are demonstration versions of optional add-on products that provide professional code quality analysis and test automation. These are Atollic TrueINSPECTOR, which performs static source code analysis, providing source code metrics and MISRA-C:2004 coding standard compliance control.
